    Many New Zealanders who suffer with migraines aren't getting the best treatment options


    A new report in the New Zealand Medical Journal found of more than 500 people with migraines, about a quarter of aren't taking acute medication in line with international guidelines.

    Report Author and co-founder of the Migraine Foundation, Fiona Imlach, says there's a clear need for better medications - but they're not avaliable here.
